Little Man's Misadventures M Saverio Clemente

Little Man is a clumsy little man. He is always bumping into walls, stepping on toys, tripping over his own feet, and knocking things on the floor. But through a series of short misadventures--and with the help of those who love him--he learns that making mistakes is an important part of being human and that laughing at those mistakes is what helps a little boy grow into a little man. ""Little Man's Misadventures is a heartfelt collection of inviting tales filled with humor and meaning that promises to grasp interest and spark imagination. Little Man's silliness is relatable, as are the lessons learned from his misadventures. Clemente reminds readers of the magic and innocence of childhood and the importance of paying attention to our families, our traditions, and the stories that will span generations when a sense of wonder is instilled in children."" --Julianne E. Riley, MA, Kindergarten Teacher ""In Little Man's Misadventures, Crazy Uncle tells Little Man, 'If you can learn to laugh at the silly stuff you do, you won't feel so embarrassed. You may even realize that there's something good about things not going right. Sometimes things going wrong can be good too.' Throughout the book, this message and a supportive family validated how Little Man's misadventures helped him to become resilient, confident, and loving! A very relatable and enjoyable read for families with young children!"" --Sara Humiston, Coordinator, Milford Family & Community Network M.
